Towers Health bar

[seriousdmb]

Tip: Make towers hp bar bigger (in width) so it gets easier to last hit and deny it. At the moment I can't see difference between 1% and 10%, it may be just me, but surely someone else must think the same.

Sure, I can click on it and see it's exact hp. But I'm no clicker. ;) Nah, but it's a just one of those things you might have to get used to (since health bar was bigger in Dota).

You feel the same?

EDIT: I feel this belong in the Beta Testing Forum, please move it mr Mod.

[MilkaCow]

I can only agree to this.
You can still deny / last hit, but why should it be made harder than necessary?
Was an issue in yesterdays inhouses, too.
50% healthbar length buff or something would be really appreaciated

I agree, it might look weird though if the health bar is too large.

[Killroy]

Well a little bigger wouldn't hurt. You have to watch the right down side now to see how low his health is to last hit it properly.

[NoobishNoob]

Yeah, can't friggin last-hit the tower with its puny-size bar, an increase in its size would greatly help, along with the rest of the buildings to have bigger, and longer health bars rather than having almost the same with creeps,

[AzgoreOrdrin]

+1 from me

[Houdini1]

Wow yes

[uranows]

!sup too

[Satrofu]

I concur

[Khaos`]

While you're at it, you might as well make the bars for all important buildings slightly larger. Like Barracks and the World Tree.

[Vesper25]

Is it just me or does the tower feel stronger than in DotA?

[Pclions]

If the width is too much of an eye sore then use a stack of 2 bars this way its a little clearer.

[Ice_Phoenix]

I definitely !support making the tower and/or throne HP bars wider.

[Ozram]

I support this thread

[LordBass]

agreed

[Gentoo]

I think it's not necessary since it's already enough mess on screen

[rKo_Legacy]

I totally agree, atm it is rather difficult to tell the status of tower.

AGREE TO THIS!!
and maybe the units bars a bit bigger, they're so thin compared to wc3
maybe an option to scale them bigger/smaller

Right now all my tower denies were sheer luck.

[Volff]

Making towers bigger wouldn't be bad at all, but you can also click the tower to see its life bar.

oO
it's like i would click on a hero i am fighting against just to see his life
it's a waste of time in a rapid combat situation
and it's not about making the towers bigger, but the healthbars :P
i NEVER click on a building to see its health

[Grigden]

i often get a tower health bar confused with creep health bar, when it surrounded, so i agree to making them different

[Kitad1]

Agree, the health bar should be bigger than creeps

I'm significantly less afraid of towers in HoN than I was in DotA.

[isolated]

i agree
+ make towers stronger

[Gornish1]

You realize you can already increase the size of hp bars of unit in the game.

If you can't judge the hp of a tower for last hit/deny then increase the hp bar size in options.

[R1cky1]

totalmente deacuerdo..

[Slayn]

You realize you can already increase the size of hp bars of unit in the game.

If you can't judge the hp of a tower for last hit/deny then increase the hp bar size in options.

it's not the increasing, it's the scaling "low" and "high", that means how high the bar is above the hero/units/etc, not "thin" and "big" ;)
that's a difference

[daretoslack]

I feel the exact opposite.

And +1 on the larger hit bar suggestion. Hard to get a feel of its health for last minute denying, and even harder to pick it out of a creep wave.

[Colinthetank]

I agree, Please make this change.

Sounds like a great idea.

I meant the health, not the damage.

[daretoslack]

Yeah, still feel the exact opposite. They feel like they go down easier. Might just be the smaller health bar, though.

[FuzzyWuzzy]

Dunno, it's weird for me also, but I managed to last hit 4/5 and 3/4 towers in my last games :D

[snakez0r]

AGREED!!!!!!
sorry for yelling

[DtMage]

100% YES! Towers healthbar is now way too small in width and makes lasthitting it very hard.

!sup
Make towers HP bar bigger (width) and stronger!
Towers should be a real threat for heroes, mainly for low levels. They have to be afraid, avoid towers.

BTW, an other suggestion is that towers should change focus to an enemy hero that gets near. One great tatic in DotA is to bring the enemy close to the tower and fight near, stunning and stuff, to be helped by the tower attack. ;]

[Kenjiwing]

support.. its a pain in the ass to last hit towers

[t0xb0x]

i agree also

[Diomeneus]

what about using some kind of ring of HP at the base of the tower? That way it is much larger and looks aesthetically pleasing at the same time.

[Diomeneus]

something like this perhaps?

Options -> Interface -> Health/mana bar scale.
Think that should do the trick

[biyabo]

Agreed, please enlarge tower health bar on critical HP.
